A good housewife never throws anything away. And this is right, because any thing, after it has ceased to be used for its intended purpose, you can try to remake it into something else.
Thread holder
What can be made of pens that no longer write? A great solution is a reel holder. This is especially useful for women who are actively engaged in sewing. To do this, you just need a wooden base with holes for used writing objects. Everything, the stand is ready!
Stand
What else can you do from pens? As an option - a stand for the stationery itself. To do this, you need a used DVD-ROM, which will serve as the basis, and many old pens that will be glued to the rim of the disc. It’s good if they are of different colors and lengths, so the thing will turn out bright and extraordinary.
Weapon
And now we’ll make something for the boys. Let's look at how to make a gun out of a pen. To do this, you need a writing object with a spring. The design is completely disassembled and assembled in the reverse order: first a spring, then a handle. Everything, the gun is ready. And bullets for such weapons will be small, tight lumps of paper. Also from the pens you can make nunchucks - an oriental weapon. And, by the way, it will be safe for health. So, we need two simple pens, as many matches and a cord. The handles are completely freed from the contents, a cord is drawn into them and fixed at the tips with matches (so that it cannot jump back out). Everything, the weapon is ready to use! And another very simple way to create weapons from the cavity of the handle (by the way, this is generally a classic!): You just need to remove all the contents, leave the bare tube through which it is very convenient to spit with small pieces of paper. What is not a weapon in the fight against the boys?
Hook
What else can you do from pens? A great option is a holder for a crochet hook. To do this, you just need to choose a convenient handle, stick the desired product into it - instead of paste - and fix it with glue or molten polyethylene. Such a hook will be easy and convenient to use!
Hiking
The holder for camping forks and spoons is another variation on the theme: "What can be made of pens?" Everyone knows that such cutlery often does not have a long handle, but only a removable holder. But what if he gets lost? It's simple: use your used stationery! But only in such a situation, most likely, you will have to slightly incise the product so that the devices fit normally in it.
Crossbow
Our next tip will tell you how to make a crossbow from a pen. For this, however, additional details will be needed: four new unsharpened pencils, seven rubber bands for paper (money) and an old pen. First you need to make a foundation. To do this, from two pairs of pencils tightly pressed against each other, you need to make a T-shaped structure (everything is fixed with the help of stationery gum). The handle is attached to the bottom of the letter T with several strips of adhesive tape (without an ampoule with paste, only the cavity itself). The elastic is twisted at the ends of the pencils (on the head of the letter T), in the center you can attach a wide insert to make it more convenient to insert “ammunition”. The arrow itself (most likely an ordinary paste) is inserted into the handle and is launched using a bowstring. Here is such a simple invention.
